Remember Charles Kennedy

The Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, has announced the death of Charles Kennedy, former leader of the Liberal Democrats, last night at his home in Scotland Kennedy, who was elected to Parliament at 23, served 32 years before losing his seat in the SNP landslide last month.

He brought passion and joy to a cynical profession, and lived long enough to see his opposition to the war in Iraq vindicated.
